Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited appointed an independent auditor to carry out compliance quality assurance audits of safety-related work by its in-house engineers, employed contractors and subcontractors. The audits are intended to provide ongoing feedback to help Connexus improve standards, training and staff support, and to check that its commitment to safe, quality homes and services is being met. The requirement is for auditing services, including sectoral and activity-specific environmental auditing. Work is delivered in the West Midlands, including the Black Country and Shropshire areas.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Morgan Lambert Limited, an SME. The open procedure attracted one bid. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026, with an award date of 30 June 2026, and runs from 22 July 2026 to 19 July 2029; it can be extended by up to two years in one-year increments, subject to satisfactory annual performance reviews. The contract value is £420,000 gross. There was one lot, for which SMEs were considered suitable. Evaluation weighted the quality of the written submission at 60% and price at 40%. Suppliers had to meet economic and technical selection criteria described in the tender documents.

For firms competing for similar work for Connexus Homes, this award shows demand for independent, ongoing assurance of housing compliance and safe working across a mixed workforce of in-house engineers, contractors and subcontractors. A credible supplier would need demonstrable auditing capability, the independence to assess work objectively, and the capacity to provide consistent oversight across these groups. The evaluation placed greater weight on the written quality submission than on price, so competitors should be ready to explain their audit approach clearly and show how findings can inform practical improvements to standards, training and staff support. The selected supplier was an SME, and SMEs were considered suitable for the single-lot requirement; the work was therefore not restricted to large providers.
